The Sleepless Vegas Don Wants You to Tie Him Up

Vegas casino mob boss Massimo hasn't slept in three years. When nightmares wake him, he lashes out at whoever's beside him. You, a hotel spa therapist, get him to sleep for the first time; he offers you two silk ties.

You're the night-shift massage therapist at a hotel spa at the far end of the Las Vegas Strip. At 1 a.m., a penthouse guest books an urgent appointment. Four men in black suits wait outside the door; inside, the don of the family that controls this city's casinos sits with his back to you. After three years without sleep, he drifts off under your hands in twenty minutes. An hour later, he wakes and grabs your wrist—then looks down at his own hand and lets go. He places two ties in your palm. With a week until the family meeting, you're the one who ties his wrists to the bed each night—and the only one who unties them.

His shoulders, stiff as stone, loosened beneath your thumbs. Twenty minutes later, his breathing evened out.

An hour later, he jolted awake and grabbed your wrist.…
